A train is now running between Boston
and Springfield which is warmed by
steam from the locomotive The Massa-
chusetts railroad commissioners, in their
report just issued, say the results of the
experiment "seem to have been in all re
spects satisfactory" The apparatus Is
thus described
A dry pipe Is put in the steam dome of
the locomotive and connected with a valve
in the cab. An automatic reducngvalve
is near that valve, so the steam is reduced
to any pressure desired. From this point
the pipe is run through the floor of the
cab and thence backward to the cars, n
covering being used to prevent condensa-
ton of steam. a main pipe is run under
each car. AT the middle OF the car steam
is taken into pipes on each side of the aisle
through valve No condensed steam
can get back to the supply pipes, for each
car drlps away its own water. Any car
on the train can be shut off without at
fecting any other car. There is no treez-
ing of the pipes, for the water Is discharg-
ed. The temperature of the car can be
regulated by the valves where the steam
is taken in. Couplings of the pipes be
tween the cars can be made as quickly as
of an air brake.
The engineer says that he does not see
as it makes any perceptible diminution of
power on his engine. 1t is expected that
by present methods, the cost of heating
one passenger car for the cold season will
be about $50. Hence, tins method is
economical, besides being safer. a car
III motion, once warmed, will run for an
hour in cold weather, after the steam has
been shut Off without becoming uncOm-
Portable. 1t is believed that or 10 cars
can he heated without injury to the power
of the engine.

Revenue Reduction.

A wise measure for the reduction of the
government revenues and of taxation, is
confessedly a matter of the utmost i'm
portance AT the present time, and it be
hooves the leaders of the republican party
in Congress to come to some agreement as
20 the policy they will pursue on this
question. The republican senators have
already had several caucuses for this pur-
pose, but have as yet failed to reach any
definite conclusions as to the course to be
pursued by them. Some are in favor
OF reducing the customs duties on
sugar while others believe that the inter
nal revenue taxes alone should be reduced
These taxes We're imposed originally to
meet the expenses of the war, and there
fore abstractly considered might well be
The first TO be repealed. But as these in
clude the taxes on whskey and tobacco,
from which a large amount of revenue is
easily raised, many would prefer to re-
1uce taxation in some other direction.
The Albany journal says: "The republi-
can party looks to Senator Edmunds,
Senator Sherman and Senator Morrill,, its
first thinkers on economic subjects, to
frame bill for the reduction Of revenues,
and in event of the veto of the dependent
pension bill, to secure its passage in the
Senate If the democratic House shall
pass the bill so much the better for the
country. If, however, as is more prob
able, the democratic majority shall fall to
wrangling over it then all responsibility
for failure will rest with them"
Perhaps the senators referred to would
be quite willing to draw mp a bill of the
kind, were it not for the fact that such
bills are expected to originate in the
House. The House, it is plain. will dc
nothing this session. So the whole mat
ter is likely to 90 over to another Con
